One Bite Grapefruit Cookies

Case in point: the bright and sweet flavor of this lemon velvet cake, the refreshing mix of lemonade and green tea of this bourbon arnold palmer, the lemon-lime juice that compliments basil beerade so well, and the list goes on. The citrus family has always been good to me, except for grapefruit.

Remember when you were a kid and ready for a nice pancake breakfast and your mom puts a grapefruit wedge in front of you, and was like:

Eat it; it’s good for you.

And you forced it down because you knew that if you didn’t you wouldn’t get to eat those wonderfully fluffy, syrup-drizzled, topped with butter pancakes?

No?

Um, <cough> me either. What I’m saying is grapefruit was always something I thought I should eat (apparently, fiber, potassium and vitamin C, really are good for you), but not something I ever wanted to eat (like cookies, candy, and cake). Until now.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can eat each cookie in one bite. To me “one bite” means I can eat as many as I want. I mean, after I’ve eaten a handful of grapefruit cookies, I don’t feel guilty. No one can ever feel guilty about eating 5 bites of something, right? Now, if only I could convince my mom they’re good for me.

Guilty? Why should I feel guilty? Just because I had a big plate of lasagna then saw your One Bite Grapefruit Cookies and wanted to dive into whole bowl of them. It’s both your fault, you for baking them to look so delectable, and that incredible photographer who made them come alive ready to jump into my mouth.Felix Mayerhofer recently posted…The Fury of Hurricanes
